You will be fine. Whatever anyone says, stick to your guns. I always used to say I was never going to get married and I did - TWICE. Both times it was a terrible mistake. Only now am I with the right man and you know what? We don't feel we need to get married! We haven't ruled it out but know we won't be thinking about it for a long time yet.
You do what makes you happy whatever ANYONE else says, even if it's your mother. Don't listen to anyone who says anything like "You have to . . ." "You ought to . . . ." "People always . . . ." "People should . . . ."
Nothing matters but that you follow what you know is right for you.
That stuff in the post above about being alone after your parents die - that is absolute rubbish, I'm sorry. You don't marry or have children to avoid being alone. You marry because you know it's right for you NOW. Neither marriage nor children will guarantee you love or companionship for the future.
Follow your heart - you CAN live your life to the full without marriage or a partner or children - if that is what you want. Think of the freedom to develop your skills and talents to the full, without being chained to a daily routine of cooking, cleaning, changing nappies, sex becoming a tedious chore.
No, whatshisface up there is totally wrong: stay single unless and until YOU know it's right for you to marry.

Why? What brought you to this choice?
Some do not plan and do marry. Others plan and have not.
Are you ok now?
To plan without seeking the giver of all life could result in you missing your gift. There is a gift to be single as well as married.
A woman can live alone much better than a man that why it's says that it's not good for man to be alone but a helper would be made for him.
Truly if you are to be someone's helper in the way of life for you to make plans without this in mind, actually robs that man of your presence and help.
It's important to know why you have come to this conclusion and my view point is just some food for thought from a different angle.

I don't know how old you are, but you can never be sure about what's going to happen in the future.
You will be fine though. I have many unmarried friends (women) and they're happy with their lives and their careers. They have very fulfilled social lives... they just choose not to marry.
Your biggest problem will be getting others not to judge you and try to talk you into getting married or trying to "fix you up".
You do what's right for you and don't let anyone make you feel like you're wrong.

yes you will be, sweetie.
marriage is a choice. everyone is entitled to their own opinions of what constitutes a happy life. being single or married doesnt make us less of being a "whole person".
you may want to start planning so that in the long term, you will be able to take care of yourself both financially and emotionally.
financially is quite straightforward.
emotionally wise, you have to think whether you can live alone in old age. questions such as would you be able to take it in your stride when all your friends have children and grandchildren? during festival celebrations? cultivating hobbies suitable for an individual is good. of course you can still make new friends at any age. but probably you will spend more time alone in the golden years so it is wise to prepare yourself.
ponder over it.

They say marriages are made in heaven.They also say u need someone to complete ur life.Its difficult for any human being to live alone.Even animals cant live alone.There r lots of ups n downs in life in which u require someone who is YOURS.You feel secured till ur parents r with u,they care for u,be with u in all walks of life.Just THINK what wud u do alone after ur parents,,u wil get the answer from urself.

no one "has" to get married. just remember no one was but on this earth to live and be alone, everyone needs a certain someone to make life complete, and that can be done without marriage.

You're going to be just fine. No one to cook for, have a clean house, go shopping and dancing and NEVER have a headache.
